Waterford Walls

Welcome to Waterford Walls Festival based in Waterford, Ireland. We are an international street art event celebrating our fifth year this August 22nd-25th 2019.

Each year we invite world-class national and international street artists to join us and paint the city’s walls with stunning large scale artwork and 2019 will be no different!

Join us for amazing live painting by some of the world’s top street artists, along with a fun-filled family-friendly programme of activities including live music, workshops, guided art trails and expert panel talks. We cater for art lovers of all ages and this year we are launching our new children’s street art programme.

Join us this August 22nd-25th for the fifth instalment of the incredible Waterford Walls International Street Art Festival!
